The Scum Rises -
Peter Jennings On UFOs
By Whitley Strieber
2-26-5

The much heralded ABC special on UFOs has come and gone.
Predictably, it was more of the same, a large number of lies sprinkled
with a few truths. At least it wasn't as relentlessly negative as such
programs have generally been in the past. But people like Peter Jennings
and his producers are cursed with the belief that they can understand-or
already do understand-what they are looking at. The reality is that the
UFO phenomenon is the most complex event in history, and a cursory examination
of its surface by a few overworked and ill-informed television producers
is not going to succeed in any way whatsoever to come to any truth about
it.

They are filled with belief in their own competence,
however. The result is that their efforts become an exercise in hubris.
They end up making judgements based on inadequate information because they
believe that what they have gathered is sufficient. But it is not sufficient,
it only fulfills their expectations and serves their assumptions. That's
always where they stop, and it's never enough.

Jennings was somewhat open to the notion that some UFOs
might be actual unknowns, and he actually told the truth, for once, about
Project Bluebook: it was indeed a publicity stunt.

But the characterization of the Roswell Incident as a
hoax and the people attempting to investigate it as cultists was a grotesque
lie, and, I think, an intentional one. It is classic disinformation-tell
a little truth so that your lie will be swallowed along with it. Of course,
how could anything more be expected from a man like Jennings? He's a prostitute
to the establishment, nothing more or less, and it is in the interest of
the establishment to conceal the reality of Roswell.

Something went wrong there. It went very wrong. And it
is somebody's fault, and, to this day, that somebody is terrified that
the public will discover that we had a truly magnificent chance at Roswell,
and our side blew it.

In 1988, my uncle told me that he had personally been
aware of and involved with the management of the debris that had been brought
from Roswell to Wright Field in 1947. My uncle Edward Strieber was an honorable
man, indeed, a very honorable man. He spent his career in the Air Force,
mostly working in areas that were extremely classified. He was in a position
to know what he was talking about, and, as I say, he was an honorable man.

Not only that, he introduced me to his commanding officer
and old friend, General Arthur Exon, who could not have been more frank.
He stated, and this is a direct quote: "Everyone from the White House
on down knew that what we had found was not of this world within 24 hours
of our finding it."

And he, also, was an honorable man who spent a sterling
career in service to his country.

So who am I to believe, two honorable soldiers, or a
man like Peter Jennings, in love with his own silly assumptions and willing
to lie for profit?

Give me the soldiers, please. What they told me about
Roswell was true. Therefore, the honest and honorable people involved in
the Roswell case are the researchers like Stanton Friedman. The ones who
'debunk' it are professional liars or ignorant fools, pure and simple.

This gets me to the way the abductees were treated. I
just cannot imagine why Budd Hopkins keeps exposing himself to people like
Jennings. What this man has given up for the abductees is, essentially,
everything. Jennings sneered that he is an artist, not a scientist. What
he should have said was the truth: that this artist, out of the decency
in his heart, gave up his career and, essentially, his life for people
who were hurting, because science in its arrogance and stupidity would
not help them.

The reality of Budd Hopkins is this: he is old, he is
ill, he is broke. That is his reward for a lifetime of extremely courageous
service to humanity. If he is a cultist, then where are the Rolls Royces,
where are the doting followers? And for that matter, if I am simply sitting
back and making a fortune off my books, then where is that fortune?

I am not as poor as Budd, it's true, but I give back
at every level of my life. I have supported this website for years, and
this website does good, it does a world of good. If nothing else, it serves
as an antidote to the lies and propaganda spread by the arrogant garbage
that have taken the high ground in this so-called free society of ours.

There is a horror behind all of this: it is that, because
of the way that people like Jennings characterize the abduction phenomenon
as the product of fringe cultism and delusional thinking, the visitors
remain free to do with us what they will.

And that, bottom line, I suspect, was the purpose of
this program. True, they paid lip service to UFO reality. But when it came
to the important stuff, they spread disinformation of a kind that is devastatingly
harmful to mankind.

We need to face some facts: the abduction phenomenon
is real, it is invasive, and there is nothing whatsoever that anybody can
do about it. That, incidentally, is the great secret: the reason the government
lies and uses things like laughter and skilled disinformation like the
Jennings special to dismiss the phenomenon is that the reality behind it
is terrifying and they are helpless.

I often ask the disclosure proponents if they actually
expect the president to go on TV and say that UFOs are real, and that we
can do nothing to control their access to our airspace. From there, it
is just a short step to the abduction evidence, which involves an abundance
of physical traces like implants which defy medical explanation, and a
wealth of anecdotal reportage that is at once exceedingly strange, exceedingly
provocative, and, frankly, suggests the presence of a great and hidden
danger in our world that we cannot control.

The Jennings special took it all to another level of
propaganda. They admitted a certain amount of truth in order that their
poison pill of lies would be swallowed with it. For a journalist, there
can be no more despicable act.

I believe in the soul. I believe in an afterlife. I also
believe that it is incumbent upon us all to live to the highest ethical
standards in this life, or face in the next the consequences of not having
done so.

All I have to say more is this: I am certainly glad that
I don't have Peter Jennings' soul. When I die, I will go to God with these
realities imprinted on my being: I never lied; I always strove to lift
myself and all whom I encountered to the best moral state we could achieve;
I took the road less traveled, knowing that it would be hard. I did so
because I was given the chance to, and I saw a chance to help my fellow
man, and so I took the chance.

So, here is my response to Mr. Jennings and the dirty
little men who lurk in his shadow, whispering their lies to him: First,
Roswell really happened, and it is the key to everything, because the Air
Force made a world-historical mistake there that has led to our being in
the state we are in now: isolated on this earth, swimming in ignorance,
and denied what is the birthright of every intelligent species, which is
access to the great cosmos. Second, the most important aspect of the whole
UFO phenomenon is abduction. As ugly as it is, it is also our only point
of contact with the outside. And there is a message being sent from them
to us. It has nothing to do with radio telescopes and the adolescent tomfoolery
of SETI, and everything to do with the hearts, minds and bodies-and the
souls-of the abductees.

You want a communication from the 'aliens,' SETI? You
want a dose of the truth, Mr. Jennings? Just ask us. We are that communication,
and we are that truth.
